Yeah but the patient is just a biological machine. This machine can easily be divided into organs and apportioned among specialists. The machine is easily understood by a corpus of research and laboratory experimentation.

. Many inputs can be placed in the machine by physicians, and the outputs are known. The biological machines can easily be isolated from environment, or monitored with high technology, and assigned numbers in databases to be processed in data centers.

Value is extracted from the biological machines mostly from government and 3rd party sources, so there is no real need to rely on machines having a means or will of their own.

There is no compelling reason to treat humans any different from automobiles for the purposes of medicine and medical treatment. In fact humans are less genetically diverse than motor vehicles, and A new model year will always produce a bumper crop of lemons to work on.

The common misconception of someone with a hard science education.

> Many inputs can be placed in the machine by physicians, and the outputs are known. The biological machines can easily be isolated from environment, or monitored with high technology, and assigned numbers in databases to be processed in data centers.

We aren't even close to that level of understanding.

And still, the model works. Lives are saved. We might save many more with a fully integrated non-simplified approach, but it’s not necessary to keep seeing growth in positive outcomes.
